Redskins president Bruce Allen said they are "getting close to having a final plan" on the structure of the front office.

Allen danced around a question about someone getting the general manager title, but he did say the organization will add "at least one, two, maybe three people" to the front office. It will be a surprise if Washington adds a true general manager, but it sounds like we will know for sure in the next couple weeks. May 22 - 9:59 AM

Redskins president Bruce Allen says "there's been no decisions made" on if the team will hire a general manager.

"The process, we're going to take our time. We're going to see what we need to add to our personnel department. There's some good quality people available we're talking to." Allen was responding to a report he doesn't plan on hiring a general manager. The Redskins fired Scot McCloughan in March, but there hasn't been much effort to bring in his replacement. Even if Washington adds someone, Allen and Jay Gruden should continue to hold the power structure. May 6 - 3:05 PM

ESPN's John Keim believes there is a "decent chance" the Redskins do not hire a new general manager.

Washington fired former GM Scot McCloughan in March, but the search for a new general manager was put on hold during the pre-draft process. With the draft now in the rear-view, Keim expects the team to begin interviewing candidates soon, but they might not end up hiring any. As Keim notes, president Bruce Allen will continue to hold the power even if they bring in a new general manager, coach Jay Gruden has an important voice in personnel decisions, and the Redskins reportedly liked how the free agency and pre-draft process ran after McCloughan was fired. Perhaps someone like Doug Williams is given the GM title, but this is clearly going to be Allen's and Gruden's show moving forward. May 6 - 10:07 AM

ESPN's Adam Schefter and Field Yates report that NFL Network's Mike Mayock has "emerged as a candidate" for the Redskins' GM job.

Mayock, 58, has worked at NFL Network since 2005 and been involved as a broadcaster for Notre Dame games and Thursday Night Football. Known as a draft guru, Mayock's star has dimmed a bit recently, as he likely simply doesn't have the time to devote to full-blown draft study with all of his other commitments. But a famous tape grinder, Mayock interviewed for a Raiders front-office job when now-deceased owner Al Davis was running the show. If John Lynch can be hired right out of the FOX booth with zero personnel experience, we wouldn't put it past Mayock landing a similar gig. Mar 10 - 2:35 PM

Seeing his first extended run of the season in Jamison Crowder's absence, Quick played 23 snaps in Sunday's win over the Seahawks before going down. He caught three passes for 49 yards. Quick will return to deep reserve status once he gets cleared.

Harris (6'3/200) spent the first six weeks of last season on the practice squad before earning a promotion to the 53-man roster. He played 129 snaps, catching 8-of-11 targets for 66 yards. Harris will likely compete with Brian Quick, Ryan Grant, and sixth-round rookie Robert Davis for the Redskins' final 2-3 roster spots among receivers.

Redskins LT Trent Williams (knee) is questionable for Week 14 against the Chargers.

Morgan Moses (ankle) also drew the questionable tag. Williams didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday and could be headed for a game-time decision. Ty Nsekhe would be a candidate to fill in on Kirk Cousins' blind side if Williams can't get the green light.

Trent Williams (knee) will also be unavailable for the Redskins, though Josh Norman should play after missing the last two games with a broken rib. Washington's offensive line is about as beat up as it gets with Scherff, Williams and Spencer Long all likely to sit in Week 8. None of this is good news for Kirk Cousins, who took four sacks in Monday night's loss to Philadelphia.

Redskins RT Morgan Moses was carted from Washington's Week 13 game against the Cowboys with a right ankle injury.

Morgan got rolled up in ugly fashion in the first half. He was initially labeled questionable before being declared out after halftime. It's possible his season is through. Fill-in Ty Nsekhe got completely dominated in Moses' absence.

Hopkins is apparently a candidate for return. He has to miss a minimum of eight games. In the meantime, he will be replaced by 2016 UDFA Nick Rose. The Redskins' kicker since 2015, Hopkins has been an 84 percent field goal kicker, and converted 5-of-13 kicks of 50 yards or longer. 2017 is the final year of his contract.
